Hurricane Humberto began picking up speed Monday night and is expected to strengthen into a “major” hurricane as it inches closer to Bermuda, the National Hurricane Center said in its 11 p.m. update.

The storm currently has maximum sustained winds of 90 mph, and is moving east-northeast at 8 mph into the Atlantic, with Bermuda at the edge of its cone of uncertainty before moving further into the Atlantic Ocean, forecasters said.

“This general motion with a gradual increase in forward speed is expected through early Thursday,” the NHC added.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles from Humberto’s center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles.
